Friends of Meridian Street: Latest update on taxi problem

This just in from Friends of Meridian Street.

Thomas P. Glynn, MassPort,
needs to be contacted about this and we cannot access his email.

Again
and still 90% of the morning traffic on Meridian Street, East Boston are
empty taxi's from Logan Airport driving to Chelsea on Meridian
Street. Also 24 hours a day these Logan taxis are using this route
without fares.

With our children getting ready for school and waiting for the school bus pick up and families going off to work, the amount of air quality pollutants
from these cabs (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) is affecting all our
health. Not to mention the heavy traffic safety factor.

We especially
are concerned for our children.

Someone
needs to address this problem in East Boston and rectify this serious community problem.
